Los primeros asentamientos permanentes en esta región fueron realizados por franceses y españoles (incluidos los isleños ), alrededor de mediados del siglo XVIII a lo largo de Bayou Lafourche , entre los actuales pueblos de Donaldsonville y Napoleonville . De 1755 a 1764, la población aumentó con la inmigración de los acadianos exiliados que emigraron a la zona, limpiaron la tierra y construyeron viviendas. Muchos de sus descendientes permanecen hoy en la parroquia. [5]
En un terreno donado por Elizabeth Dugas, se construyó la Iglesia de Santa Isabel en 1840. Los feligreses reconstruyeron rápidamente su iglesia después de un incendio en 1854. En 1903 se completó una tercera estructura, todavía en uso. Cerca, sobre un andamio de acero especial, se encuentra la campana de la iglesia, demasiado grande para cualquiera de las dos torres de la iglesia. Fue traído de Francia . [4]
